Mrs. Eva Glow filed a petition to-

In May, 1875. Mrs. Glow complains
that for several years her husband has
endeayored to bring about a separa-
ton, and has done everything in his
power to Render her life burden and
misery. In 1882 her father gave Der
s15 for the purchase of a watch.
This angered her husband, and, al
though she only spent p rrtion of the
money for the watch, he threatened to
throw it in the stove, and said that she
had to choose between the watch and
himself. He refused to speak to her Tor
days together, and would not sit in
the same room but forced her to keep
out of the parlor and locked the door.
She further alleges that he insulted
her in the presence of the children
and the neighbOrs, said that she was
not mt to raise little ones, and wound
ed her feelings cOnstan ly by taunts
and sneers To others he remarked
that he was hunting for new pastures

traces at home. Mrs. Glow further
alleges that her husband taught the
children to disObey her and hold her
in contempt. She asks for the Gus.
,ody of the youngest child Mary. and

AnIndiana Horror.

Fort Waye, Feb. 9-Ten niles north
east of Warsaw, just west of here party of
hunters to-day found the mutilsted rem aims
Of Perry Durham near his residence In
his house, they discovered little two
year-old girl dead. Mrs. Durham was
alive but so badly cut as to be insensible,
the hogs had eaten Duuham's feet and hor-
ribly mutilated him. Mrs. Durham has
eight wound all made with knife. The
ehilds' throat was cut from ear to
ear and it lay on the floor some six feet
from its mother. The theofy of the MUIR
der is that it was done for robbery as a
few days ago Durham sold two hundred
bushels of wheat for S120 and some calves
for 500 only nine dollars of this money
was found in the house. Another theory
Is that Durham was insane and after MUIR
dering his wife and child committed
suicide.

Rushvjlle to the Rescue.

Yesterdays Jefferson City Tribune
gives a column of its valuble space to
w. S. Wells, of Nashville, Mo, to
detail what he terms a history Of the
locating of the capitol in Jefferson
City and an argument in favor of its
remaining there, which boiled down,
simply is that because the capitol is in
Jefferson City and was located there
sixty years ago it ought to stay there.
w. s. Wells is carpenter who for
merly lived in Jefferson City and left
there because; he said, he could not
make living there. He is now 10
caied in rushing little Rushville. Mr..
Wells according to his own argument
should be in Jefferson City which he
left ten years ago, because he came
there twenty wears ago.

Manning's Opinion.

KANSAS lily star.
Secretary Manning has expressed
his Opininn on the fisheries difficulty.
He dissents from the opinion held by
the sanguinary Senator of Kansas.
He would not adopt retaliation
measures, and he believes that the
trouble can be settled without war.
The Secretary is correct. However
much the people may want war they
do not need it for mere vengeance
for that would be largely the Ameri-
can feeling-nor would they be bene-
fitted by war. When a nation goes
to war it is the nasses-the common
people who have little to gain by war
who become the victims. There is
considerable irritation in this country
toward England and not few would
welcome war, but in the pending
trouble arbitration and not arms
should prevail.
"There the common sense OF most should
hold impetful realm in awe"

Sedalia Is making determined eff
fort to secure the removal of the state
capital from Jefferson CITY to the
great railroad center in Pettis county.
She has filed her bond for $4,000 In
the secretary of states office to be de-
voted to the payment of all expenses
of submitting the removal amend
ment to a vote of the state. The resolu.
ton requiring the removal amendment
to be submitted is to be considered
next Thursday. 1t stipulates that
the amendment if voted is to 90
into effect in 1893 and not then unless
the city shall have given a good and
sufficient warranty deed to 40 acres
of land in the city and shall have
paid into the state treasury the
sum of $500, 900 TO aid in the erec-
ton of suitable state buildings. This
is fair proposition. An apprOpria-
tien of $3.50, 900 is asked of the present
legislature for the purpose ofrepairiDg
our present capitol at Jefferson City,
and when this much money
is spent ON the structure it
will still "a relic of the past
ages and wholly inadequate to the
uses for which it is put. 1t has not
enough offices for the state depart
ments. 1t has no rooms for commit
tee meetings. 1t has no modern con-
viences, and though it were repair ed
the city in which it stands would re-
main an eyesore to every Missourian
that has any pride in his state. Com
pare our seat of government with that
of Illinois or Iowa. Sedalia can be
improved and will make a beautiful
city in which our visitors will not
dread to spend day. How is it at
Jefferson? As soon as he was landed,
every visitor asks, "When does the
next train START" Sedalia will grow
and be some indication of the thrift
and enterprise of orir state. In the
matter of accessibility, Sedalia is far
ahead, as every one from North
Missouri and South Missouri, too, who
has ever had any business in Jeffer-
son City will be glad to testify

Plug Rats of Chinese Origin.

It is curious fact, unknown to the
vast majority of people, that the first
silk hat was made al ut fifty years ago;
that, like so many othe4 articles viii b
are common and of everyday use. it
was of Chinese or gin. The story runs
that a French sea captain on the coast
of China, desiring to have his shabby
beaver hat replaced by new one, took
it ashore, and, as they had not the ma
terial, they made a silk one instead,
This, it appears, happened in 1882,
and he carried the hat to Paris that
same year Here it was Immediately
copied, and in few years became a
regular stvle.
